Recording guide
How to record your squat
A bodyweight squat: you lower with control to a comfortable depth and stand back up.
Set up the camera
- From the side: the camera faces your side, not your front.
- Fixed, on a tripod or propped up: don't follow the movement by hand.
- About three meters away and at hip height, with your whole body in frame, from feet to head.
- Good light, a clear background and clothes that let the knee and hip show.
How to perform it
- 1Feet hip-width apart and arms forward for balance.
- 2Lower by pushing your hips back, chest up.
- 3Go as deep as you can without lifting your heels.
- 4Stand up without bouncing and repeat at a steady pace.
What ruins the measurement
Facing the camera: from the front it can't see how much the knee bends.
